A DISABLED man is demanding traffic-calming measures on his road which he has branded an “accident hotspot”.

Frank Cassidy, aged 56, has re-issued a call to Warwickshire County Council after the latest accident near his home in Bulkington Road, Bedworth, in which a couple suffered serious injuries in a motorbike accident.

He says he’s witnessed too many smashes on the busy stretch of road but claims no-one from Warwickshire County Council seems keen to do anything to help.

He contacted the Telegraph after the latest incident in which a man and woman were seriously injured when their motorbike collided with a car in his road on February 25.

The pair, in their 20s, were found unconscious by ambulance crews and suffered multiple injuries in the accident, which Frank caught on camera.

He is calling on Warwickshire County Council to introduce traffic calming measures. Previous attempts, he says, were met with a lack of response.

He said: “The road is right opposite Nicholas Chamberlaine school which is very dangerous for children around here as cars and motorbikes overtake each other at speed along the road. The amount of traffic has increased dramatically in the 40 years I’ve lived in the area and parents who park on the side of the road are partly to blame.

“There are too many cars parked on the street and there’s a haulage company nearby, which means big lorries are constantly up and down the road.”

Frank, who lives with his wife Doreen, 56, has first hand experience of how dangerous the road can be. His eldest son Michael, now 36, fortunately walked away uninjured when knocked down by a car aged 15.

And Frank’s youngest son Martin, 21, was also involved in a near-miss as the pair walked across the road when he was just four years old.

A Warwickshire County Council spokesman said: “There have been two slight and one serious injury accidents over a 500 metre stretch of Bulkington Road in the last three years - none involving children.

“We have to allocate resources to sites with a proven accident record first and we are currently looking at sites where there have been at least six injury accidents in three years over a 100 metre stretch.”
